Gradually... Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: Maziar Miri, Country: Iran, Release: 2006, Runtime: 81 Mahmoud is a hard-working itinerant welder. When his troubled wife Pari disappears, leaving their daughter behind, the gossip mill in his hometown begins to churn. Helpful and malicious neighbors offer conflicting accounts of what they think has happened, and Mahmoud abandons his job to search for his runaway wife. With well-drawn characters and a great deal of suspense, director Maziar Miri’s second feature film explores gender prejudices in his native Iran and reveals the delicate balancing act that women must enter into to exist within the repressive system imposed on them. This is a deeply felt, beautifully constructed story that brings a new perspective to love and marriage, Iranian style. Maziar Miri studied film editing at IRIB’s college and worked in Iranian television before making short films. Gradually… is his second feature. Fri Mar 30: 6:00pm at The Museum of Modern Art Sun Apr 1: 3:00pm at the Walter Reade Theater
